What is the cost for Public liability when mining?

Cost vary from insurer to insurer. Public liability insurance prices for mining take into account what type of mining you are involved in. If for example you are doing underground mining you will find the insurers will increase the premium to include their increase in risk. As you could imagine if you were responsible for a mine collapse, due to your actions or due to one of your products being found to be a cause for a collapse then chances are that you will have a very expensive claim to be made.

You will also find an increase in premium if you are a project manager on a mine site. I have clients trying to tell me that their input is minimal or that their work is only office based but at the end of the day you will be responsible for a group of workers and if one of them gets injured you will most likely be sued. People try to argue that workers compensation cover the workers, but who do you thing workers compensation take to court to recover their expenses after they have paid out for the worker?
